I only rapid cycle when I have been taking any kind of antidepressant or stimulant. I even tried Wellbutrin and it sent me over the edge.
Adderall can do it to me to. But Adderall, even in small doses helps so much. I have been able to get on a regular schedule, work out, lose 25 lbs and do some part time work since starting Adderall XR.
Klonopin isn't enough to keep me stable.
Right now I am going to try low dose Trileptal and low dose lithium. Since I can't tolerate antidepressants, I think low dose lithium will help. Plus, I think Trileptal and Klonopin will keep me from getting too irritable from the Adderall wear off. Doc wants to slowly go up on Trileptal.
My doc wants me to stay on Adderall as the positives outweigh the negatives that can be controlled.
